Google is launching its new Vids productivity app in Workspace Labs with the idea that “if you can make a slide, you can make a video in Vids.” Announced in April, Vids allows users to drop docs, slides, voiceovers, and video recordings into a timeline to create a presentation video to share with coworkers. Making it available in the Workspace Labs preview allows Workspace admins to opt in users to try out the AI-powered video maker.
While you can generate video in Vids, it’s not to be confused with AI tools like OpenAI’s Sora, which can create lifelike footage from a prompt. Instead, Vids is about generating a presentation by describing what you want Gemini to create and then letting you alter the video afterward.

This seems more like something they would integrate into Google Slides as a feature, rather than a separate product.
That’s too straightforward - this is google after all.
There’ll be a new product that integrates this feature and they’ll call it Google Slides, while rebranding the old “Slides” as Google Presentations. Then in a few years they’ll kill off the new Google Slides, leaving only Google Presentations and tons of confused users.
